give me one authentic reason to use or switch to linux
enjoy your no control over your os faggot
>>55305205
You have complete control over your system. Feels good to work hard, buy something and own it, then control everything on it.
If you need others to convince you, you are probably better sticking with what you use.
its free.
and legit
unlike a free torrent on a cracked windows 7 iso
>>55305205
get all your apps from 1 place and update them with 1 click
but i'm not going to convince you, just use whatever you feel comfy with
>>55305919
just because its free doesnt mean its good
>>55305205
Are you a hobbyist? Then Linux is for you.
>>55305945
yeah but its still a legit reason to use it
its free
it doesnt cost 100$+
it doesnt require a key
it doesnt require registry online
free
>>55305945
But being free is one authentic reason to use it, and that's what OP is asking for
>>55305929
Enjoy your silly botnet.
>>55305205
I have an authentic love for the linux ecosystem.
I installed Zorin. Couldn't get it to display the right resolution, couldn't even install the propietary graphics. So much for user friendlyness. If I need to go through a lot of trouble to install a fucking driver in linux, I might just stick to widow$. It just werks.
>>55306075
>widow$. It just werks.
it was literally made for you
I'd install Fedora or get freedom respecting hardware and run Trisquel.
Pointless (bait) thread. However, if you're not just being a meme shitlord, check the sticky.
>>55305945
Just because its popular doesn't mean it's good either
>inb4 1% "market share"
>>55305205
give me one authentic reason to shit in the street
>>55305205
Privacy and security. The only reason to run windows is software availability. I never use windows outside a cuck VM
>>55305205
So you can gain a greater appreciation for the comforts of osx or windows.
No, really. I used linux for a solid year and when I finally got fed up with typing shit I don't quite understand into the terminal to make some program work, I went back to Win7 and have never looked back since.
>>55306553
Casual users don't need to use the terminal.
Linux also let's you customize the UI, so you could style it after Winblows or OSeX
>>55305205
I couldn't care less if you use it or not. I will assume you're a dumbass that doesn't belong on a technology board for thinking it's pointless though.

fast
light
stable
easy to update
easy to install a software
you don't care about malwares
you got the choice of the softwares you use
it doesn't spy on you
it is free as in freedom
it is free as in free beer
you can customize as you want
you can easily report a bug, ask for a feature on a software you like
it is more reliable than a proprietary software
If you want you can learn how such a system works
it is a better platform for developers
Something that is more discutable but that I will consider as a good thing :
you have better performances on linux than windows or OS X when you play games.
That's discutable ofc, but that is true since 2012. The issue isn't the OS. It's the manufacturers that doesn't always provide good drivers and more important, devs that doesn't optimize their shit for linux. If they are made for linux and windows, then it runs as well or better than the windows version.
Now can we move on and stop having those useless threads ?
>>55305205
Do you even know what deprecated means? We don't really care. I don't want people like you in the Linux community anyway.
/v shitpost is rampant today.
And turbo autists fall for this kind of shit.

>I don't want people like you in the Linux community anyway
Fucking this
>>55305919
>>55305945
free as in freedom

>>55306809

>I wish
How is it not stable ?
>inb4 pacman updated xorg and broke my arch install
>>55306817
as far as I'm a freetard that enjoy gnu/linux, he is right. KDE is somehow part of it in the end. It's a popular DE that people use.
>>55306809
any link to the bug ? I wonder why and how it happens
>>55305205
Bash. Privacy respect. Security through Insecurity.
But to be honest we don't want retards like you in our community.
>>55305205
>give me one authentic reason to use or switch to linux
Why would i do that?
>>55305205
if you personally don't have reason to switch then don't and most of all don't open threads like this
>>55305205
It just werks. Not kidding. if you don't choose a meme 1337 haxor distribution, you will have way less problems. I use lmde2, it runs perfect ootb on all machines I tried, from fat CAD Workstation over business PC to meme chinkpads and poorfag netbooks.
I say this as a MCSE since 2000 and sysadmin of a heterogenous environment. Windows (especially 10) is pure shit, compared to good linux distributions.
>>55306809
>>home partition is full
Wow retard
